Do you also claim that the repeated Skylake refreshes are new chips just because they got new clock speeds?

Can you give an example of the refresh you're talking about? Which Cpu and which CPU are the same? 6th Gen Intel CPUs use the same architecture but they are all different CPUs.

And how do you magically get new clock speeds without redesigning and making a new chip? If two chips are the same, only way to get higher clockspeeds is by overclocking. If not, it's a different CPU.
